Luke 14:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ Jesus watched how people chose the best places to sit at the meal.^[a] So he told this story to those who were sitting there:

⁸ ‘When someone asks you to come to a special meal, do not sit in the best place. A man that is more important than you may come later. ⁹ Then the man that asked you to the meal might say to you, “Give the best place to this man.” Then you will feel ashamed that you sat there. You will have to move to the lowest place and sit there.
